GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Am29LV033C is a 32 Mbit, 3.0 Volt-only F lash memory orga nized as 4,194,3 04 by tes. The d evice is offered in 63-ball FBGA and 40-pin TSOP packages.
The byte-wide (x8 ) data appears on D Q7–DQ0. All read, program, and erase operations are accomplished using only a single power supply. The device can also be programmed in standard EPROM programmers.
The standard device off ers access times of 70, 90, and 120 ns, allowing high speed microprocessors to oper­ate without wait states. To eliminate bus contention the device has separate chip enable (CE#), write enable (WE#) and output enable (OE#) controls.
The device requires only a single 3. 0 v o lt po wer sup- ply for both read and write functions. Internally gener­ated and regulate d voltages are provided for the program and erase operations.
The device is entirely command set compatible with the JEDEC single-power-supply Flash standard. Commands are written to the command register using standard microprocessor write timings. Register con­tents serve as input to an internal state-machine that controls the erase and programming circuitry. Write cycles also internally latch addresses and data needed for the programming and erase operations. Reading data out of the device is similar to reading from other Flash or EPROM devices.
Device programming occurs by executing the program command sequence. This initiates the Embedded Program algorithm—an internal algor ithm that auto­matically times the program pulse widths and verifies proper cell margin. The Unlock Bypass mode facili­tates faster programming times by requiring only two write cycles to program data instead of four.
Device erasure occurs by executing the erase com­mand sequence. This initiates the Embedded Erase algorithm—an interna l algorithm th at automatically preprograms the array (if it is not already prog rammed) before executing the erase operation. During erase, the device automatically times the erase pulse w idths and verifies proper cell margin.
The host system can detect whether a program or erase operation is complete by observing the RY/BY# pin, or by reading the DQ7 (Data # Polling) and DQ6 (toggle) status bits. After a program or erase cycle has been completed, the device is ready to read array data or accept another command.
The sector erase architect ure allows memory sec­tors to be erased and reprogrammed without affecting the data contents of other sectors. The device is fully erased when shipped from the factory.
Hardware data protection measures include a low
detector that automatically inhibits write opera-
V
CC
tions during power transitions. The hardware sector protection feature disables both program and erase
operations in any combination of the sectors of mem­ory. This can be achieved in-system or via program­ming equipment.
The Erase Suspend feature enables the user to put erase on hold for any period of time to read data from, or program data to, any sector that is not sele cted for erasure. True background erase can thus be achieved.
The hardware RESE T# pin term inates any operation in progress an d resets the inte rnal state m achine to reading array data. The RESET# pin may be tied to the system reset circuitry. A system reset would thus also reset the device, enabling the system micropro­cessor to read the boot-up firmware from the Flash memory.
The device offers two power-saving features. When addresses have been stable for a specified amount of time, the device enters the automatic sleep mode. The system can also place the device into the standby mode. Power consumption is greatly re­duced in both these modes.
AMD’s Flash technology combines years of Flash memory manufacturing experience to produce the highest levels of quality, reliability and cost effective­ness. The device electrically erases all bits within a sector simultaneously via Fowler-Nordheim tunneling. The data is programmed using hot electron injection.

DEVICE BUS OPERATIONS

This section describes the requirements and use of the device bus operations, which are initiated through the internal command register. The command register itself does not occupy any addressa ble memor y loc a­tion. The register is composed of l atches that store the commands, along with the a ddress an d data inform a­tion needed to execute the command. The contents of

Requirements for Reading Array Data

To read array data from the outputs, the system must drive the CE# and OE# pins to V control and selects the device. OE# is the output con­trol and gates array data to the output pins. WE# should remain at V
.
IH
The internal state machine is set for reading arr ay data upon device power-up, or after a hardware reset. This ensures that no spurious alteration of the memory content occurs during the power transition. No com­mand is necessary in this mode to obtain array data. Standard microprocessor read cycles that assert valid addresses on the device address inputs produce valid data on the device data outputs. The device remains enabled for read access until the command register contents are altered.

Writing Commands/Command Sequences

To wr ite a command or command sequence (which in­cludes programming data to the device and erasing sectors of memory), the system must drive WE# and CE# to V
The device f eatures an Unlock Bypass mode to facili- tate faster programming. Once the device enters the Unlock Bypass mode, only two write cycles are re­quired to program a byte, instead of four. The “Byte Program Command Sequence” section has details on programming data to the device using both standard and Unlock Bypass command sequences.

space that each sector occupies. A “sector address ” consists of the address bits required to uniquely select a sector. The “Comm and D efinitio ns” s ection has de ­tails on erasing a sector or the entire chip , or suspend­ing/resuming the erase operation.
After the system wr ites the autosele ct command s e­quence, the device enters the autoselect mode. The system can then read autoselect codes from the inter­nal register (which is separate from the memory array) on DQ7–DQ0. Standard read cycle timings apply in this mode. Refer to the Autoselect Mode and Autose­lect Command Sequence sections for more informa­tion.

tive current specification for the write mode. The “AC Characteristics” section contains timing specification tables and timing diagrams for write operations.
Accelerated Program Operation
The device offers accelerated program operations through the ACC function. This is one of two functions provided by the ACC pin. This function is prim arily in­tended to allow faster manufacturing throughput at the factory.
If the system a sser t s V
on this pin, the device auto-
HH
matically enters the aforementioned Unlock Bypass mode, temporarily unprotects any protected s ectors, and uses the higher voltage on the pin to reduce the time required for program operations. The system would use a two-cyc le program comm and seq uence as required by the Unlock Bypass mode. Removing
from the ACC pin returns the device to normal op-
V
HH
eration. Note that the ACC pin must not be at V
HH
for operations other than accelerated programming, or device damage may result.

Program and Erase Operation Status

During an erase or program operation, the system may check the status of the operation by reading the status bits on DQ7–DQ0. Standard read cycle timings and I
read specifications apply. Refer to “Write Op-
CC
eration Status” for more information, and to “AC Char­acteristics” for timing diagrams .

Standby Mode

When the system is not reading or writing to the de­vice, it can place the device in the standby mode. In this mode, current consumption is greatly reduced, and the outputs are placed in the high impedance state, independent of the OE# input.
The device enters the CMOS standby mode when the CE# and RESET# pin s are both held at V (Note that this is a more restricted voltage range than
.) If CE# and RESET# are held at VIH, but not within

RESET#: Hardware Reset Pin

The RESET# pin provides a hardware method of re­setting the device to reading array data. When the RE­SET# pin is driven low for at least a period of t device immediately terminates any operation in progress, tristates all output pins, and ignores all read/write comm ands for the duration of the RESET# pulse. The device also resets the internal state ma­chine to reading array data. The operation that was in­terrupted should be reinitiated once the device is ready to acce pt another command sequenc e, to en­sure data integrity.

Autoselect Mode

The autoselect mode provides manufacturer and de­vice identification, a nd sector pr otection verificatio n,
through identifier codes output on DQ7–DQ0. This mode is prima rily intende d for programming equip­ment to automatically match a device to be pro­grammed with its corresponding programming algorithm. However, the autoselect codes can also be accessed in-system through the command register .
When using programming equipment, the autoselect mode requires V A9. Address pins A6, A1, and A0 must be as shown in Table 3. In addition, when verifying sector protection, the sector address must appear on the appropriate highest order address bits (see Table ). Table 3 shows

the remaining address bits that are don’t care. When all necessar y bits have been set as required , the pro­gramming equipment may then read the correspond­ing identifier code on DQ7-DQ0.

Sector/Sector Block Protection and Unprotection

(Note: For the following discussion, the term “sector” applies to both sectors and sector blocks. A sector block consists of two or more a djace nt secto rs that a re protected or unprotected at the same time (see Table 4).
The hardware sector protection feature disables both program and erase operations in any sect or. The hard­ware sector unprotection feature re-enables both pro­gram and erase operations in previously protected sectors. Sector protection/unprotection can be imple­mented via two methods.
The primary method requires V only, and can be implemented either in-system or via programming equipment. Figure 2 shows the algo­rithms and Figure 22 shows the timing diagram. This method uses standard microprocessor bus cycle tim-

COMMAND DEFINITIONS

Writing specific address and data commands or se­quences into the command register initiates device op­erations. Table 9 defines the valid register command sequences. Writin g incorrect address and da ta val- ues or writing them in the improper sequence resets the device to reading array data.
All addresses are latched on the falling edge of WE# or CE#, whichever happens later. All data is latched on the rising edge of WE# or CE#, whichever happens first. Refer to the appropr iate timing di agrams in the
“AC Characteristics” section.

Reading Array Data

The device is automatically set to reading array data after device power-up. No commands are required to retrieve data. The device is also ready to read array data after completing an Embedded Program or Em­bedded Erase algorithm.
After the device accepts an Er ase Suspend command, the device enters the Erase Suspend mod e. The sys­tem can read array data using the standard read tim­ings, except that if it reads at an address within erase-suspended sectors, the device outputs status data. After completing a programming operation in the Erase Suspend mode, the system may once again read array data with the same exception. See “Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands” for more infor­mation on this mode.
The reset command may be written between the se­quence cycles in an autoselect command sequence. Once in the autoselect mod e, the reset command
must
be written to retur n to read ing array data (also
applies to autoselect during Erase Suspend). If DQ5 goes high during a program or erase operation,
writing the reset command returns the device to read­ing array data (also applies during Erase Suspend).

Autoselect Command Sequence

The autoselect command sequence allows the host system to access the manufacturer and devices codes, and determine whether or not a sector is pro­tected. Table 9 shows the address and data require­ments. This method is an alternative to that shown in Table 3, which is intended for PROM programmers and requires V
The autoselect command sequence is initiated by writ­ing two unlock cycles, followed by the autoselect com­mand. The device then enters the autoselect mode, and the system may read at any address any number of times, without initiating another command se­quence. A read cycle at address XX00h retrieves the manufacturer code. A read cycle at address XX01h re­turns the device code. A read cycle containing a sector address (SA) and the address 02h returns 01h if that sector is protected, or 00h if it is unprotected. Refer to Table for valid sector addresses.

Reset Command

Writing the reset command to the device resets the device to reading array data. Address bits are don’t care for this command.
The reset command may be written between the se­quence cycles in an erase command sequence before erasing begins. This resets the device to reading array data. Once erasure begins, however, the device ig­nores reset commands until the operation is complete.
The reset command may be written between the se­quence cycles in a program command sequence be­fore programming begins. This resets the device to reading array data (al so applies to p rogramming in Erase Suspend mode). O nce programming beg ins, however, the device ignores reset commands until the operation is complete.
The system must write the reset command to exit the autoselect mode and return to reading array data.

Byte Program Command Sequence

The device programs one byte of data for each pro­gram operation. The command sequence requires four bus cycles, and is initiated by writing two unlock write cycles, followed by the program set-up command. The program address and data are written next, which in turn initiate the Embedded Program algor ithm. The
not
system is timings. The device automatically generates the pro­gram pulses and verifies the programmed cell margin. Ta ble 9 shows the address an d data requ irements for the byte program command sequence.
When the Em bedded Program a lgorit hm is c omple te, the device then returns to reading array data and ad­dresses are no longer latched. The system can deter­mine the status of the program operation by using DQ7, DQ6, or RY/BY#. See “Write Operation Status” for information on these status bits.
Any commands written to th e device duri ng the Em­bedded Program Algorithm are ignored. Note that a hardware re set i mmediately ter mi nates the program­ming operation. The Byte Program command se-
required to provide further controls or
Am29LV033C 19
quence should be reinitiated once the device has reset to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.
Programming is allowed in any sequence and across sector boundaries. A bit cannot be programmed from a “0” back to a “1”. Attempting to do so may
halt the operation and set DQ5 to “1,” or cause the Data# Polling algorithm to indicate the operation was successful. However, a succeeding read will show that the data is still “0”. Only erase operations can convert a “0” to a “1”.
Unlock Bypass Command Sequence
The unlock bypass feature allows the system to pro­gram bytes to the device faster than using the stan­dard program command sequence. Th e unloc k bypass command sequence is initiated by first writing two un­lock cycles. This is followed by a third write cycle con­taining the unlock bypass command, 20h. The device then enters the unlock bypass mode. A two-cycle un­lock bypass program command sequence is all that is required to program in this mode. The first cycle in this sequence contains the unlock bypass program com ­mand, A0h; the second cycle contains the program address and data. Additional data is programmed in the same manner. This mode dispenses with the initial two unlock cycles required in the standard program command sequence, resu lting in faster total program­ming time. Table 9 shows the requirements for the command sequence.

During the unlock bypass mode, only the Unlock By­pass Program and Unlock Bypass R eset commands are valid.

Addresses are don’t cares for both cycles. The device then returns to reading array data.

algorithm. The device does preprogram prior to erase. The Embedded Erase algo­rithm automatically preprograms and verifies the entire memory for an all zero data pattern prior to electrical erase. The system is not required to provide any con­trols or timings during these operations. Table 9 shows the address and data requireme nts for the chip erase command sequence.
Any commands writte n to the chip du ring th e Embed­ded Erase algorithm are ignored. Note that a hard- ware reset during the chip erase operation immediately terminates the operation. The Chip Erase command sequence should be reinitiated once the de-

vice has returned to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.
The system can determine the status of the erase op­eration by using DQ7, DQ6, DQ2, or RY/BY#. See
“Write Operation St atus” for informati on on these sta­tus bits. When the Embedded Erase algorithm is com­plete, the device returns to reading array data and addresses are no longer latched.
Figure 4 illustrates the algorithm for the erase opera­tion. See the Erase/Program Operations tables in “AC Characteristics” for parameters, and to Figure 17 for timing diagrams.

Sector Erase Command Sequence

Sector erase is a six bus cycle operation. The sector erase command sequence is initiated by writing two unlock cycles, followed by a set-up command. Two ad­ditional unlock write cycles are then followed by the address of the sector to be erased, and the sector erase command. Table 9 shows the address and data requirements for the sector erase command se­quence.
not
The device does the memory prior to erase. The Embedded Erase al­gorithm automatically programs and verifies the sector for an all zero data pattern prior to electrical erase. The system is not required to provide any controls or timings during these operations.
After the command sequence is written, a sector erase time-out of 50 µs begins. During the time-out period, additional sector ad dresses and se ctor erase com­mands may be written. Loading the sector erase buffer may be done in any sequence, and the number of sec­tors may be from one sector to all sectors. The time between these additional cycles must be less than 50 µs, otherwise the last address and command might not be accepted, and erasure may begin. It is recom­mended that processor interrupts be disabled during this time to ensure all comm ands are accepted . The interrupts can be re-enabled after the last Sector Erase command is written. If the time between addi­tional sector erase commands can be assumed to be less than 50 µs, the system need not monitor DQ3.
Any command other than Sector Erase or Erase Suspend during the time-out period resets the de­vice to reading array data. The system must rewrite
the command sequence and any additional sector ad­dresses and commands.
The system can mon itor DQ3 to deter mine if the s ec­tor erase timer has timed out. (See the “DQ3: Sector Erase Timer” sectio n.) The time- out begins fr om the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command se­quence.
Once the sector erase operation has begun, only the Erase Suspend command is valid. All other com-
require the system to preprogram
mands are ignored. Note that a hardware reset dur- ing the sector erase operation immediately terminates the operation. The Sector Erase command sequence should be reinitiated once the device has returned to reading array data, to ensure data integrity.
When the Embedded Erase algorithm is complete, the device returns to reading array data and addresses are no longer latched. The system can determine the status of the erase operation by using DQ7, DQ6, DQ2, or RY/ BY#. (Refer to “Write Operation Sta tus” for information on these status bits.)
Figure 4 illustrates the algorithm for the erase opera­tion. Refer to the Erase/Program Op erations ta bles in the “AC Characteristics” section for parameters , and to Figure 17 for timing diagrams.

Erase Suspend/Erase Resume Commands

The Erase Suspend command allows t he syste m to in­terrupt a sector erase operation and then read data from, or program data to, any sector not selected for erasure. This command is valid only during the sector erase operation, including the time-out period 50 µs during the sector erase command sequence. The Erase Suspend command is ignored if written during the chip erase operation or Embedd ed Program algo­rithm. Writing the Erase Suspend command during the Sector Erase time-out immediately terminates the time-out period and suspends the er ase oper at ion. Ad­dresses are “don’t-cares” when writing the Erase Sus­pend command.
When the Erase Suspend command is written during a sector erase operation, the device requires a maxi­mum of 20 µs to suspend the erase ope ration. How­ever, when the Erase Suspend command is wr itten during the sector erase time-out, the device immedi­ately terminates the time-out period and suspends the erase operation.
After the erase operation has been suspended, the system can read array data from or program data to any sector not selected for erasu re. (The de vice “er ase suspends” all sectors selected for erasure.) Normal read and write timings and command definitions apply. Reading at any addre ss within e rase-suspen ded sec­tors produces status data on DQ7–DQ0. The system can use DQ7, or DQ6 and DQ2 together, to determine if a sector is actively erasing or is erase-s uspended. See “Write Operation Status” for information on these status bits.
After an erase-s uspende d program ope ration is com­plete, the system can once again read array data within non-suspended sectors. The system can deter­mine the status of the program operation using th e DQ7 or DQ6 status bits, just as in the standard pro-
Am29LV033C 21
gram operation. See “Write Operat ion Status” f or more information.
The system may also write the autoselect command sequence when the device is in the Erase Suspend mode. The device allows reading autose lect codes even at addresses within erasing sectors, since the codes are not stored in the memory array. When the device exits the autoselect mode, the device reverts to the Erase Suspend m ode, and is ready for another valid operation. See “Autoselect Command Sequence” for more information.
The system must write the Erase Resume command (address bits are “don’t care”) to exit the erase sus­pend mode and continue the sector erase operation. Further writes of the Resume command are ignored. Another Erase Suspend command can be written after the device has resumed erasing.

WRITE OPERATION STATUS

The device provides several bits to determine the sta­tus of a write op eration: DQ2 , DQ3, DQ5 , DQ6, DQ7, and RY/BY#. Table 10 and the following subsections describe the functions of thes e bits. DQ7, RY/BY#, and DQ6 each offer a method for determining whether a program or erase operation is complete or in progress. These three bits are discussed first.

DQ7: Data# Polling

The Data# Polling bit, DQ7, indicates to the host sys­tem whether an Embedded Algorithm is in progress or completed, or whether the devic e is in Er as e Suspend. Data# Polling is valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the program or erase command se­quence.
During the Embedded Program algorithm, the device outputs on DQ7 the complement of the datum pro­grammed to DQ7. This DQ7 status also applies to pro­gramming during Erase Suspend. When the Embedded Program algorithm is complete, the device outputs the datum programmed to DQ7. The system must provide the program address to read valid status information on DQ7. If a program address falls within a protected sector, Data# Polling on DQ7 is active for approximately 1 µs, then the device returns to reading
array data.
Table 10 shows the outputs for Data# Polling on DQ7. Figure 5 shows the Data# Polling algorithm.
START
Read DQ7–DQ0
Addr = VA
Yes
No
DQ7 = Data?
No
DQ5 = 1?
Yes
During the E mbedd ed Erase algor ithm, D ata# Polling produces a “0” on DQ 7. When the Embed ded Erase algorithm is complete, or if the device enters the Erase Suspend mode, Data# Polling produces a “1” on DQ7. This is analogous to the complement/true datum out­put described for the Embed ded Program algor ithm: the erase function chan ges all the b its in a sector to “1”; prior to this, the device outputs the “complement,” or “0.” The system must provide an address within any of the sectors selected for erasure to read valid status information on DQ7.
After an era se comman d sequence is writte n, if all sectors selected for erasing are protected, Data# Poll­ing on DQ7 is active for appro ximately 100 µs, then the device returns to reading array data. If not all selected sectors are protected, the Embedded Erase algorithm erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores the se­lected sectors that are protected.
When the system detects DQ 7 has chan ged from th e complement to tru e data, it can read valid data at DQ7–DQ0 on the
following
read cycles. This is be­cause DQ7 may change asynchronously with DQ0–DQ6 while Output Enable (OE#) is asserted low. Figure 18, Data# Polling Timings (During Embedded Algorithms), in the “AC Characteristics” section illustrates this.

RY/BY#: Ready/Busy#

The RY/BY# is a dedicated, open-drain output pin that indicates whether an Embedded Algorithm is in progress or complete. The RY/BY# status is valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence. Since RY/BY# is an open-drain output, sev­eral RY/BY# pins can be tied together in parallel with a pull-up resistor to V
If the output is low (Busy), the device is actively eras­ing or programming. (This includes programming in the Erase Suspend mode.) If the output is high (Ready), the device is ready to read array data (includ­ing during the Erase Suspend mode), or is in the standby mode.
Table 10 shows the outputs for R Y/BY#. Fig ures 14, 15 and 17 shows RY/BY# for reset, program, and erase operations, respectively.
CC
.

DQ6: Toggle Bit I

Toggle Bit I on DQ6 indicates whether an Embedded Program or Erase algorithm is in progress or com­plete, or whether the device has entered the Erase Suspend mode. Toggle Bit I may be read at any ad­dress, and is valid after the rising edge of the final WE# pulse in the command sequence (prior to the program or erase operation), and during the sector erase time-out.
During an Embedded Program or Erase algorithm op­eration, successive read cycles to any address cause DQ6 to toggle (The system may use either OE# o r CE# to control the read cycles). When the operation is complete, DQ6 stops toggling.
After an era se comman d sequence is writte n, if all sectors selected for erasing are pro tected, DQ6 to g-
gles for approximately 100 µs, then returns to reading array data. If not all select ed sectors are prot ected, the Embedded Erase algorithm erases the unprotected sectors, and ignores the selected sectors that are pro­tected.
The system can use D Q6 and DQ 2 together to dete r­mine whether a sector is actively erasing or is erase-suspended. When the device is actively erasing (that is, the Embedded Er ase alg orithm is in pr og ress), DQ6 toggles. When the device enters th e Erase Sus ­pend mode, DQ6 stops toggling. However, the system must also use DQ2 to deter mine which sec tors are erasing or erase-suspended. Alternatively, the system can use DQ7 (see the subsection on DQ7: Data# Poll­ing).
If a program address falls within a protected sector, DQ6 toggles for approximately 1 µs after the program command sequence is written, then returns to reading array data.
DQ6 also toggles during the erase-suspend-program mode, and stops toggling once the Embedded Pro­gram algorithm is complete.
Table 10 shows the outputs for Toggle Bit I on DQ6. Figure 6 shows the toggle bit algorithm in flowchart form, and the section “Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2” explains the algorithm. Figure 19 in t he “A C Char ac ter­istics” section shows the toggle bit timing diagrams. Figure 20 shows the differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form. See also th e subsection o n DQ2: Toggle Bit II.

DQ2: Toggle Bit II

The “Toggle Bit II” on DQ2, when used with DQ6, indi­cates whether a particular sector is actively erasing (that is, the Embedded Erase algo rithm is in pro gress), or whether that sector is erase-sus pended. Toggle Bit II is valid after the rising edge of t he final WE# pulse in the command sequence.
DQ2 toggles when the system reads at addresses within those sectors that have been selected for era­sure. (The system may use either OE# or CE# to con­trol the read cycles.) But DQ2 cannot distinguish whether the sector i s actively erasing or is erase-sus­pended. DQ6, by compar ison, indicates whe ther the device is actively erasing, or is in Erase Suspend, but cannot distingui sh which sectors ar e selected for era­sure. Thus, both status bits are required for sector and mode information. Refer to Table 10 to compare out­puts for DQ2 and DQ6.
Figure 6 shows the toggle bit algorithm in flowchart form, and the section “Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2” explains the algorithm. See also the DQ6: Toggle Bit I subsection. Figure 19 shows the toggle bit tim ing dia­gram. Figure 20 shows the differences between DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form.

Reading Toggle Bits DQ6/DQ2

Refer to Figure 6 for the following discussion. When­ever the system initially begins reading toggle bit sta­tus, it must read DQ7–DQ0 at least twice in a row to determine whether a toggle bit is toggling. Typically, the system would note and sto re the value of the tog­gle bit after the first read. After the second read, the system would compare the new value of the toggle bit with the first. If the toggle bit is not toggling, the device has completed the program or erase operation. The system can read array data on DQ7–DQ0 on the fol­lowing read cycle.
However, if after the initial two read cycles, the system determines that the toggle bit is s till toggling, the sys­tem also should note whether the value of DQ5 is high (see the section on DQ5). If it is, the system should then determ ine again wheth er the toggle bi t is tog­gling, since the toggle bit may have stopped toggling just as DQ5 went high. If the toggle bit is no longer
Am29LV033C 25
toggling, the device has successfully completed the program or erase operation. If it is still toggling , the de­vice did not completed the operation successfully, and the system must write the reset command to return to reading array data.
START
The remaining scenario is that the system initially de­termines that the toggle bit is toggling and DQ5 has not gone high. The system may continue to monitor the toggle bit and DQ5 through successive read cy­cles, determining the status as described in the previ­ous paragraph. Alternatively, it may choose to perform other system tasks. In this case, the system must start at the beginning of the algorithm when it returns to de­termine the status of the operation (top of Figure 6).
Table 10 shows the outputs for Toggle Bit I on DQ6. Figure 6 shows the toggle bit algorithm. Figure 19 in
the “AC Characteristics” section shows the toggle bit timing diagrams. Figure 20 shows the differences be­tween DQ2 and DQ6 in graphical form. See also the subsection on DQ2: Toggle Bit II.

DQ5: Exceeded Timing Limits

DQ5 indicates whether the program or erase time has exceeded a specified internal pulse count limit. Under these conditions DQ5 produ ces a “1.” This is a failure condition that indicates the program or erase cycle was not successfully completed.
The DQ5 failure condition may appear if the system tries to program a “ 1” to a location that is previously programmed to “0.” Only an erase operation can
change a “0” back to a “1.” Under this condition, the device halts the operation, and when the operatio n
has exceeded the timing limits, DQ5 produces a “1.” Under both these conditions, the system must issue
the reset command to re turn the device to readin g array data.

does not apply to the chip erase command.) If addi­tional sectors are selected for erasure, the entire time-out also applies after each additional sector erase command. When the time-out is complete, DQ3 switches from “0” to “1.” If the time between additional sector erase commands from th e system can b e as­sumed to be less than 50 µs, the system need not monitor DQ3. See also the “Sector Erase Comm and Sequence” section.
After the sector erase command sequence is written, the system should read the status on DQ7 (Data# Poll­ing) or DQ6 (Toggle Bit I) to ensure the device has ac­cepted the command sequence, and then read DQ3. If
DQ3 is “1”, the internally controlled erase cycle has begun; all further c ommands (other than Erase Sus­pend) are ignored until the erase ope ration is com­plete. If DQ3 is “0”, the device will accept additional sector erase commands. To ensure the command has been accepted, the system software should check the status of DQ3 pr ior to and following each subseque nt sector erase comma nd. If DQ3 is hig h on the secon d status check, the last command might not have been accepted. Table 10 shows the outputs for DQ3.
